    Horrible game, let me explain why:

Getting shot offscreen, /golfclap. the FBI should plant trackers into the game and fish out all of the psychos playing it, any normal teen/adult won't enjoy this game after    Horrible game, let me explain why:

    Hatred is a game about a insane murderer killing innocent people for NOTHING.
    The whole idea of this game is absolutely immoral, and I'm used to play violent games. But this one cross any border of sanity.
    The only thing I have to admit this help me is to clean my Steam friend list from people with clear psychopathic tendencies. This is a game for sick audience.

    Tenho acompanhado o desenvolvimento de Hatred desde o episódio em que o Steam retirou a aprovação no greenlight e o próprio Gabe Newell intercedeu colocando o time da Destructive Creations em uma torrente de polêmica que fez com que os grandes veículos de comunicação dessem mais atenção ao jogo do que talvez ele merecesse.

    Longe de mim ser o bastião de tudo que é bom e justo, e ao mesmo tempo devo dizer que não endosso nenhum tipo de violência no mundo "real". Dito isto, vamos aos fatos.
    Hatred é um "Dual Stick Shooter" de visão isométrica sobre um maluco cujo nome não é importante (segundo o próprio personagem) que odeia tudo e todos e decide que irá sair de casa em uma matança desenfreada que irá resultar em algum momento na sua própria morte. Sem Spoilers, o personagem inicia o jogo explicando isso.

    Enfim, logo no início do jogo pude notar que o maior pecado de Hatred é não ter um motivo pra existir e o personagem deixa isso bem claro. Eu considero que pra um jogo existir ele precisa ter pelo menos uma de duas coisas:

    - Uma mecânica divertida e bem desenvolvida. Existem diversos jogos apoiados puramente em mecânica e que proporcionam uma experiência tão gostosa que torna difícil largar o controle.
    - Uma história pra ser contada. Nesse caso não considero nem que a história precise ser excelente, ela pode simplesmente ser algo que os autores quiseram botar pra fora, pode ser apenas pra gerar uma discussão ou até ser um enredo mega mirabolante, mas o essencial é que exista algo a ser dito.

    Imagino que Hatred podia ser um jogo muito melhor se abordasse mesmo que de leve algum argumento sobre os problemas das armas domésticas por exemplo. Podia trabalhar uma história sobre um dos diversos massacres que aconteceram em escolas pelo mundo, gerando discussão, mostrando que as pessoas que realizam esse tipo de ataque podem não ter nascido monstros, podem ter sido totalmente quebradas por uma infância difícil, por excesso de bullying ou sei lá por qual motivo, existem dezenas de estudos sobre esse tipo de coisa. Ou seja, eu entenderia Hatred existir se tivesse algo a dizer, mas o jogo passa bem longe disso.
    "Ah meu, mas eu não quero pensar, quero simplesmente atirar nas coisas!"

    Justo, quem nunca abandonou as missões em GTA e se entregou ao prazer de destruir a cidade, acumular estrelas de procurado, fugir da polícia e instaurar o caos generalizado? Aliás, se você nunca fez isso em GTA com certeza está perdendo grande parte da experiência do jogo, porque afinal isso é muito divertido.

    Então ok, o time da Destructive Creations queria apenas fazer um jogo em que fosse divertido atirar por aí e causar caos, pânico e destruição, certo?

    Nesse caso falharam miseravelmente. Eu tentei entrar nesse clima, abstrair qualquer preconceito que eu tivesse e apenas jogar pela diversão mas infelizmente Hatred diverte pouquíssimo. É extremamente monótono fazer basicamente a mesma coisa o tempo todo. Atira em pessoas (com uma inteligência artificial sofrível), a polícia aparece, mata os policiais e segue sua vida atirando em mais inocentes.

    A movimentação do personagem é horrorosa. Existem bugs de movimentação aos tubos, perdi a conta de quantas vezes fiquei preso em algum lugar por problemas na movimentação e pelo level design preguiçoso.
    Os inimigos atiram em você de fora da tela e não existe nenhuma indicação visual de onde o tiro está vindo. Morri algumas vezes sem saber o motivo.

    Existe apenas uma mecânica que eu consigo elogiar (pela idéia, não pela execução) que é o fato de apesar da inteligência artificial ser absurdamente burra as pessoas inocentes em que você atira são capazes de pegar armas do chão e reagir aos ataques ao invés de só correr dos tiros. Afinal pessoas em situações limites são capazes de outras ações além de correr desesperadamente.
    Achei uma idéia bem bacana que eu adoraria ver bem executada em outros jogos, apesar de isso ter gerado um dos momentos mais estranhos do jogo. Imagine que você está em um trem em movimento matando os passageiros e os passageiros sacam suas armas, entre elas uma Uzi, tipo, pra onde diabos aquelas pessoas estavam indo todas armadas?

    Outra coisa que tinha potencial mas falhou na execução é o visual do jogo (que merecia uma otimização melhor). O jogo é inteiro em tons de cinza só sendo colorido o sangue e as explosões, o que lembra bastante o estilo visual usado em Sin City. Essa escolha proporciona um jogo muito bonito, mas acaba atrapalhando em alguns momentos do jogo em que tudo fica bem confuso e enxergar o seu personagem e os inimigos ajudaria bastante.

    Quanto à polêmica das cenas chocantes devo dizer que foi muito "mimimi" pra nada, as execuções não são nada que o jogo do justiceiro não tenha feito em 2005 com muito mais sangue e violência do que esse joguinho mequetrefe. Já quanto à questão da violência pela violência o jogo é tão raso e sem personalidade que é praticamente impossível gerar empatia ou se ofender com qualquer coisa.

    Promissor, mas não arriscou.    … Expand

    Honestly, a game that tries for controversy before it tries for any other redeemable quality is a game that deserves a solid zero.

    Despite best attempt, it's painfully obvious the developer lacked the skill necessary to craft anything meaningful out of this game. It’s the lazy, easy-way-out approach, to forsake something intelligent or satirical and just opt for all-out slaughter.

    Control curve. Hero merges with the environment in aiming mode. We need a laser sight, meaningful purpose, plot. Must be able to blend in with the crowd. Destruction of objects should be meaningful - to cut off the connection, turn off the electricity to destroy the way into town. The destruction of the city should be placed in a sandbox.

    What it is now - boring. This is not yet the game.

And they're charging $20. It would be overpriced if it was a $5 iOS game.

    First and foremost, the low grade is not due to me being a finger-waggling and "oh how could you" spouting person who doesn't understand how mowing down rows of innocent bystanders could be fun. Quite the opposite, I was one of those that saw the trailers, saw the mowing down of people and went howling into the night how much I want it because it actually does look like fun. You know, fun?First and foremost, the low grade is not due to me being a finger-waggling and "oh how could you" spouting person who doesn't understand how mowing down rows of innocent bystanders could be fun. Quite the opposite, I was one of those that saw the trailers, saw the mowing down of people and went howling into the night how much I want it because it actually does look like fun. You know, fun? Remember that? What we used to play games for? Before it became a second job (like the MMO du jour) or an excuse for not doing our first one (like the Facebook timewaster games). Fun.

    And that's exactly what the game fails at. It makes mowing down innocent victims and bystanders who have done nothing wrong but getting out of bed in the morning and getting in the path of our antisocial protagonist at exactly the wrong time not only boring but a chore. That's a feat and a half if you think about it.

    Lemme be level here, it starts out ok. You start the game, you walk down the street, blazing guns mow down a couple dozen innocent victims. Nothing wrong so far, all fun and game, we're building character here... or wait, we don't. First of all, there is exactly zero emotional attachment to our protagonist. He's as blank as the average angsty goth teen (which is, I'd wager, coincidentally the target audience of the game, after all you SHOULD somehow identify with your character) whose outlook on life and the reaction he garners from anyone dealing with him is the same: A heartfelt MEH.

    There's simply no motivation. But that's fine, that's ok, hey, who needs a game to motivate you to mow down a dozen human beings or a score? Maybe your life or at least your day already gave you enough of a motivation for this and you doing it in a computer game is just your way of doing it in a socially halfway acceptable way. That's ok, that's cool.

    But, and that's the part where I get pissed off, the fatal flaw of the game, the one thing that (oddly, as it may sound) is the killer here, the part that constitutes the piece of poop in the Pringles can: Killing those people has a purpose. Yes, you heard me. I did say HAS a purpose. No, I did not forget to negate that. The very fact that killing those people has a purpose is the big letdown here for me.

    Allow me to elaborate how my antisocial, highly antagonistic and misanthropic mind works.

    The game rewards your killing sprees and mindless rampage with you regaining health from everyone you deliver from living to dead with the aid of highly accelerated metal spat from the tip of your gun. Why health you may ask. Well, the reason why you need health is the army of policemen, soldiers and whatever else one could think up to stop a ravaging madman from becoming the world record holder in the body-count category. And that's what pisses me off: I have to kill these people. It's not something I do because I wanna and because it's fun (remember, fun? Why we should play games?). Me going into that cafe and doing a pirouette on my toe-tips with the trigger firmly squeezed is not done so I get some cheap laugh out of people screaming and running for their lives and begging me not to find out how many bullets are needed to sever a limb of someone trying to avoid that. It's something I HAVE to do because outside the local police force made a picnic and found out that shooting stuff is fun and me giving them a good excuse to do it delights them so much that they have to spend their annual budget for bullets today and right now.

    And then it stops being fun. It starts being a requirement. A chore.

    And that takes away the fun of being a ravaging lunatic on a killing spree rampage. The whole point behind that being that you're god. You decide who gets to live and who gets to die. That's what makes mindless killing sprees fun. I liked your begging and groveling, mortal, you may live another day, begone now. But you over there, I didn't like your nose. Boom, headshot. See? Fun.

    That's not the case here. I cannot deliberately decide to NOT kill someone. That's the whole point of being "in control", of having "the power". Having a choice. You don't have that choice. And even if you had it, it doesn't matter. You simply don't get to care about the humans you kill. They lack any kind of personality, any kind of individuality, anything that makes them more than the million other "kill me for points" sprites that littered the screens of computer games since the times Space Invaders tried to kill your pixel tank. They're so interchangeable and bland. Nondescript. Can't we at least get a school class of kids so there would be at least a little bit of a hesitation? Well, not for me (being the antisocial bastard that I am, I'd go out of my way to kill them so they drop in an aesthetically pleasing way), but there are allegedly people who do care for kids enough to at least hesitate a moment before deciding that smaller targets just mean higher challenge.

    Hatred is an average Isometric shooter. But the game could be longer and more diverse. It wasn't the shocker everyone wanted us to believe, it is not the anti-christ and it is definitely not the new Manhunt or anything like that. It did not evoke feelings of hate or sadism, all in all it was small and enjoyable. Kudos.

    I played Hatred with an open mind, because this is a game and the only things that matter is gameplay, story and/or fun.

    Gameplay: Few actual mechanics to the game and most of them are poorly executed, as an example, camera angle makes it hard to gauge whether your enemy is within Line of Sight or if you are just looking into a wall/door. Aiming down sight moves your entire screen/cross-hair, which makes aiming for difficult and the increased precision is irrelevant.

    Storyline: Non-existent.

    Fun: The game takes the whole massacre thing way too seriously and unlike other games similar violence level, doesn't have anything else in it's favor other than random killing, which makes the game boring.

    Graphics: The atmosphere is appropriate to the setting however the animations are subpar.

    In conclusion, it seems that positive reviews rest on the single fact that 'killing is fun' in the game, but personally, killing just for killing without anything else (comedy factor, plot, etc) adding to it, is just boring.    … Expand

    The most terrific game, that I have ever seen. Stupid AI, bad animations, terrible optimization, color gamma is awful, and the absence of storyline at all. The gameplay is so boring that the only thing that you want - to end this game as fast as you can. The main character has no motivation and he kills people just because he is evil.
    It is one of the worst games that I have ever played.

Indeed, if you've played GTA, Saint's Row, or even Dishonored, you honestly won't find the death included in Hatred very interesting.

    Let's say you're not invested in the violence; what about game play? What you have is essentially an old-school top-down shooter/bullet hell. Is it new, flavorful, or innovative in any way? No, not really. If you're new to the genre then you may be able to extract some semblance of enjoyment from Hatred, but you're honestly better off just playing a free flash game online that has similar gameplay.

    It's clear that the dirty developers played up the controversy for sales, most likely knowing that the game would perform poorly if they didn't drum up some kind of gimmick. I will admit, it's current price tag of around $7.00 is a bit high, but not too far from unreasonable. If you must purchase the game, wait for a 50% off sale or just playing something else, except better.    … Expand

It wants to appeal to those annoying **** that act as if everyone is a terrible person and we should just commit genocide because isn't that just such a mature, thought provoking, well thought out idea?

    Yeah you can not convince me that the devs of this game have ever had a normal conversation with another person outside of circle jerking with other edgy kids on **** about how much they hate the world.

    So **** gameplay paired with an insufferable, irritating story.

    Imagine you took the first Postal game and removed all the impact, thought, self awareness and substance, and you'd get this game.

    I am convinced that, although a lot have been said about Hatred, one thing is certain: this is a video game we will always remember.

    I don't know what to think about Hatred's plot: I wondered before playing it, and I wonder even now after I completed it, what really pushed a man to cross the limit of tolerability and misanthropy to the point where The Antagonist pushed himself.

    I don't know what to think about Hatred's plot: I wondered before playing it, and I wonder even now after I completed it, what really pushed a man to cross the limit of tolerability and misanthropy to the point where The Antagonist pushed himself. The Antagonist's imaginary reference is clear: long hair, black trench coat, combat boots... and late 1990s don't seem that far anymore. But although aesthetic appearance, I don't think The Antagonist has much to share with a class or group of individuals. His hatred transcends ethnicity, gender and social status. He's too old to take refuge in teenage nihilism and has no problem in triggering an atomic explosion that will certainly kill those who dress and think like him, without discriminating anyone. No, it's not that easy to understand. And I wouldn't bet much on psychopathy, because if you think that you necessarily have to be a psychopath to kill people without batting an eyelid, obviously you've never heard about soldiers... or mobsters. I think that, in the end, in The Antagonist's heart, probably there is really room only for hatred and disgust. Simply this. Openness to interpretation and lack of information about the character's past and motivations have clearly been one of the strengths of the game's charm. That's for sure and it worked.

    So what works in Hatred's gameplay? The first element is the environmental destructibility, phenomenal to say the least: 90% of in-game structures are completely destructible. It's possible to literally open a gap, digging and demolishing layers of building's walls one after the other, with an heavy machine gun. And talking about shooting, it must be said that Hatred has very, very, solid and valid shoot 'em up mechanics. Aiming with shoulder allows to extend range of fire to hit the farthest targets. The game succeeds in being satisfying and fun, it hardly become monotonous if you don't die or repeat the same level too many times. The difficulty of the game is indeed quite high, even at standard level, especially in the second part when units of better armed and more aggressive enemies arrive. Performing executions – the only way to restore health – is not only satisfying, it becomes necessary. Strange how this latter merit have been exalted by only few: I mean it's a video game, what should be if not synonymous of good challenge? There are however things that are not good in Hatred. The movement, for example, both in contextual actions and in running or shooting is a bit woody. In most chaotic sections, it can generate problems, where freedom of movement and immediacy are essential. I liked the particular choice in the color scale, similar to Sin City's one, but it's true that it can confuse the player sight, bringing to highlight targets with red borders using a specific command. Sometimes, moreover, enemies' attack area tends to cover a too long range: literally, you can't see who is shooting you, even aiming with the shoulder. Driving system is just sketched and as the most liar game director in the industry would say: "It just works", but nothing more. A.I. is perhaps the most deficient side of the game: it happens that enemies remain to wait for the next move of the player, doing nothing, or that get stuck between walls, objects or doors. If solved these problems, the game would have really shine.

    To be an isometric game, Hatred really has nice visuals and makes good use of Unreal Engine 4, even with some great particle effects. I enjoyed the soundtrack – sometimes a bit metal, sometimes a bit dark ambient – and tracks like "Overkill" and "It's time".

    Finally, a final thought comes. The most common criticism to the game is: "It wants to be polemical, but it's not polemical" almost as if critics wanted to convince more themselves that those who read the review, almost as if they wanted to turn off a fire that, if evidently they wanted to turn off, it's because it was burning. And Hatred burned. The truth is that Hatred, in many cases, has not been evaluated for what it is: a video game. And let it be know – by me, a realist about today's video game reality, not interested in lying to you with pretended optimism – in the end Hatred didn't even remotely hurt the world of video games as much as the "casual revolution" did (Nintendo Wii, Wii Sports etc.), since 2005 symbol of what really ruined an entire industry, making it richer with cosmic void. Hatred has a reason to exist, so target centered, Destructive Creations. I prefer much more games like Hatred generating controversy because of extreme violence – and give a reason to failed attorneys like pitiful Jack Thompson to open their useless mouths – than games generating controversy because of damned microtransactions and predatory monetization practices.

    Yes. I choose Hatred. And you?    … Expand

    Don't get me wrong, you can release your inner little psycho, which is awesome. But it's so repetitive, it doesn't even have a lot of missions or at least some different, like one in the desert against some bikers or in a little town in the middle of nowhere,
    no most of the missions are in some kinds of suburbs.
    You can also drive some vehicles, but all of them are kind of useless.

    More weapons would have been nice, or at least more ammunition for the special weapons like the flamethrowers.

    You can destroy literally every house and every object, it looks awesome due to the "over the top" physics for explosions, it has a better destroyable environment than some games which are promoted for exactly that feature.
    The game itself looks also pretty good, thanks to the Unreal Engine 4.

    Simplemente vas avanzando por diferentes zonas con un objetivo numérico de individuos masacrados. A medida que vas matando aparecen oleadas de enemigos que son las fuerzas de seguridad, cada vez mejor armados y protegidos para acabar contigo. Lo que lo convierte en un twin stick shooter muy sencillo de masacre por oleadas. En este punto hay que comentar que el juego es solo parcialmente compatible con un game pad, por lo que tendrás que jugarlo con teclado y ratón y es impreciso hasta decir basta, por lo que de twin stick shooter, en realidad, es solo sobre el papel. Como gracia adicional en los diferentes niveles hay objetivos secundarios en los que encontrar nuevas armas, chalecos antibalas o puntos de respawn, que básicamente hacen las veces de vidas. Si terminas las vidas en una zona vuelves a empezar desde el principio con tu objetivo de masacre principal. Sin más, no tiene más.

    Hay gente que le recuerda a Postal. Un juego que en los noventa llamó mucho la atención por partir de una premisa similar a este. Por lo que, en mi opinión pierde el factor de innovación en su concepción argumental, es decir, ni siquiera es original, es una copia de un clásico.

А разработчики, по совместительству они же издатели, не то чтобы баловали громкими речами и прочим. И вот релиз настал.

    Мне тут вспоминается кое-что, когда "Destructive Creations" в описании одного из трейлеров оставили строчку о том, что они собирались выпускать игру в мае, но из-за релиза "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" отложили релиз до начала следующего месяца, ибо будут ганять в Ведьмака. И, чёрт, это было немного даже забавно. И считаю, что не зря перенесли релиз. Ибо в моих глазах лето - это просто адское и ненавистное времечко и Я даже не знаю лучшего времен для выхода как не начало лета.

    И да игрушка очень неоднозначная. По-моему, игра вышла именно тем, что нам представляли и обещали в трейлерах. Ну вышло очень атмосферно, с очень простым и не особо изобретательным игровым процессом. На этом моменте до меня доходит чувство приятной ностальгии по стареньким топ-даун шутерам, аля "Alien Shooter" и "Zombie Shooter". Так вот, сегодняшний пациент не далеко ушел от них, ибо набор механик и приёмов не богат. Есть небольшая разрушаемость, графончика чуть-чуть, а так всё очень по-старому без интересных идей. Тут довольно уместны эти старые шутки про типичный польский геймдев. Однако меня в своё время порадовало, процесс довольно аркадный, динамичный и весёлый, воть.

    Стилистика, тут кое-что да есть, что в своё время и дало немалого ХАЙПА!. И тут дело вкусовщины. Мне зашло, ибо антураж и тематика меня порадовали, хоть они очень просты и без выдумки и цели, чисто для какого-то фона геймплею. Ни сюжета, ни интересной подачи, ни любопытных комментариев на тему или шока, увы. Визуал всё же клёвый и атмосферный. Картинка иногда очень красивая. Да, доля атмосферы тут имеется, она тоже зашла. Жестокость есть, в-первый раз она может и вызывает какую-ту эмоцию, но затем только скуку, ибо именно здесь динамика страдает от этой необходимости лечится расправами. И всё. Музыки вообще не помню, возможно её не было.

    И вырисовывается очень не взрачная картина. А Вы ждали другого, серьёзно? От молодой студии, которая состоит из таких же молодых энтузиастов, которые и игр до этого не делали? По мне, для первого проекта неплохо. Это мелкая не особо привлекательная и отполированная игра, собранная на коленке в подвале, которую вряд ли многие запомнят. Слабо, бессмысленно, порой весело, но не ужасно. И да, техническую сторону - у меня не было крашев или серьёзных багов, но были забавные ситуации, когда игра работала не так как должна была.

    Many issues like low framerate, graphical glitches, execution glitches, terrible camera position, bad voice acting from the main character, and stupid AI hold it back from being really good.

    I get that they were going for a Postal style game here, with the camera locked in a overhead view. However, Postal did it because of how it was designed. This game could have easily been modified to be played in 3rd person. The main character sounds like someone trying to force themselves to act 'edgy', and 'threaten'. Why the AI runs back into the same house their buddy was just shot it destroys the whole point of people 'scared for their life.'

    Somethings are done right, like the environmental destruction, voicing acting of the civilians and executions, to a certain extend.

    One thing that was also blown way out of portion was the executions. They are supposed to be this gnarly showcase of dying in the worse possible way, but I've seen better, and even more gruesome executions in games like Manhunt 2, and The Punisher.

    Hatred can be enjoyable, but I find that the game is more of a publicity stunt, then an actual game.    … Expand

    По скидке нормальная игра что бы убить время, если вам конечно не хочется просто убивать людей, казнить их и все в этом роде, то игра вам не подойдет, а так что бы снять напряг, потупить на 2 часа сюжета самый раз. В ней не нужно ничего искать, ни смысла, ни морали, ничего, просто убивать людей и все.По скидке нормальная игра что бы убить время, если вам конечно не хочется просто убивать людей, казнить их и все в этом роде, то игра вам не подойдет, а так что бы снять напряг, потупить на 2 часа сюжета самый раз.

    rather enjoyable and gruesome game. The top down / isometric view can be an acquired taste for some but luckily, there are very nice mods featured on the steam workshop that improve the gameplay and perspective/ visuals.

    Душная игра с херовым управлением и плохо настроенной сложностью. Даже на легком после появления спецназа сложность возрастает в несколько раз, болваны тупо жирные и больно бьют. Сюжет примитивный, будто написан школьником-готом. Стилистика и специфика игры интересные (изза увиденных добиваний и купил игру), но их маловато оказалось, геймплей уныл и репетативен.Душная игра с херовым управлением и плохо настроенной сложностью.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Note. Not that it matters but.
    I live in Australia and it's unobtainable to get this game legally from steam cause it's banned in Australia. (Not that it's mention on the list of banned games in Australia wiki). I, however. Bought it from D.C's website when it was available for pre-order with a key on release. Moving on.

    What is HATRED?
    Take RWS's 1997 Postal and make it balls up the wall ultra-violent where your goal is to kill everyone in your way (than yourself), with close-up final blows, throat-slitting, and head stomping.

    If you like Postal, you might like this. Altho Postal2 is more of a black comedy, HATRED was made for shock value. And people were shocked.

    I've enjoyed this game. Finally a game, with over-the-top ultra-violence that no one asked for but needed.
    But it does sometimes get a little boring. And this is coming from a guy who has 500+ hours in Postal 2. What can I say? I like the mods people make.

    HATRED also has some mods. Some are great. Like 1.666.

    I play hatred now every once in a while. The last recorded time I played it was Oct 2020 so it was pretty recent.

    Do I recommend HATRED?
    Yes.

    Do I recommend paying full price?
    No, wait for a sale.    … Expand

    It's not that Hatred goes too far, it's that the game is sold on being edgy or violent, but the "violence" is so dull that I can't really believe the game is rated AO. Why is the game less violent than your average Assassins Creed game, but is being sold as this senseless violence simulator?

    This is easily one of the best isometric shooters ever made, which ironically got the hatred of dumb people that took it too seriously.

    One of my favorite guilty pleasure games of all time hatred because of it story and gameplay and its AI here are the pros and cons about hatred Pros * Great gameplay * good AI * it has some Story which I like * you can play with the mouse and keyboard and it feels better for me when they play those type of games * it does good what it does like pushing the boundaries and crossing the lineOne of my favorite guilty pleasure games of all time hatred because of it story and gameplay and its AI here are the pros and cons about hatred Pros * Great gameplay * good AI * it has some Story which I like * you can play with the mouse and keyboard and it feels better for me when they play those type of games * it does good what it does like pushing the boundaries and crossing the line like grand theft auto 5 I mean crossing the line I mean it’s more mature content and more adult content
    * it’s challenging game if you’re looking for one for a Under $10 this is a game for you * it has a lot of the same physics
    As The original postal form 1997 and postal redux form 2016 Cons * Bad consoles in the beginning it takes a while to get used to them * it focuses more on the violence then the story which I don’t like because I like the story but it makes the game more interesting
    * it has controller support which I like a lot but it feels really bad one playing the game on the controller I just recommend using the mouse and keyboard when playing this game Overall I give it a 6.5/10 because it is far from perfect and no game is perfect and destructive creations is making great games like IS Defense which I really enjoy a lot and Daymare 1998 which I heard it’s a good game and they are going to make and release next month is War Mongrels which I’m hyped about but I see why hatred got it I adults only but at the same time postal form 1997 got a m from the ESRB and I highly recommend the game at the end of the day because if you like poster you will love hatred    … Expand

    Ni tan mal, el juego esta mas o menos. Claramente no es un goty pero no esta tan mal tampoco.

    Encarnamos a un loco q mata gente sin razon aparente mas que el odio a la humanidad. Graficamente mg bastante, se siente bien su tono monocromatico y sus destellos en rojo en los puntos de interes.

    If you ever feel like shooting up a school - don't. Get Hatred and play it instead! It's the ultimate rampage simulator where you can use all kinds of guns on cops and civilians without killing anybody in real life!

    This is a good game in which you can let off steam and just get mad and kill if you are sick of everything and everything! The only drawback of the game is an inconvenient camera. meow:)

    Honestly the most fun I've had in a long time with games. It's a bit of a shame how soft companies get just because of trying to appeal to everyone.

    Hatred isn’t half as provocative as moralists claim: it doesn’t emphasize the act of aggression; it cares only about the number of victims. Executions are carried out with about as much emotion as stomping on a Goomba in Mario game. [Sept 2015, p.71]

    Not offensive enough to cause outcry, not good enough to warrant paying attention to. [Aug 2015, p.60]
